This volume discusses hydrogeology from the geological perspective. After describing the major features of 28 hydrogeologic
regions of North America, the volume devotes eight chapters to discussion of the comparative hydrogeology of kinds of different
bedrock regimes and surficial deposits; seven chapters to geologic processes including karstification, diagenesis, tectonics,
ore deposits, and hydrocarbon migration intimately involved with ground water; and two concluding chapters to look at future
scientific and societal problems related to ground water

Provides reviews of all major facets of hydrology. Topics covered include: influences of the atmosphere and of land and vegetation
on stream flow; temporal and spatial variability of stream flow, with separate chapters on floods and on low flow and hydrologic
drought; snow and ice, the frozen components of the hydrosphere; the hydrology of lakes and wetlands; hydrogeochemistry of
rivers and lakes; the aquatic biota; sediment movement and storage; the riverscape for selected North American rivers; and
the influence of Man on hydrologic systems

The 'sedimentary cover' refers to the stratified rocks of youngest Proterozoic and Phanerozoic age that rest upon the largely
crystalline basement rocks of the continental interior. This volume presents data and interpretations of the geophysics of
the craton and summarizes the craton's tectonic evolution. It also presents the stratigraphy, structural history, and economic
geology of specific sedimentary basins (e.g. Appalachian basin) and regions (e.g. Rocky Mountains). It concludes with a discussion
of the currently popular theories of cratonal tectonics, & unresolved questions are identified

This synthesis covers stratigraphy, depositional processes, and geophysical interpretation of the major onshore and offshore
marginal basins from Maine to the Bahamas. It discusses the theoretical aspects of thermal evolution, subsidence, and seismic
stratigraphy as applied to this region. Geological resources including petroleum, water, sand and gravel, hard minerals, and
heat flow are reviewed, and environmental hazards such as seismicity, coastal erosion, waste disposal and submarine instability
as it relates to site of drilling platforms and mining are evaluated

Earthquake epicentres from global, national, regional, local catalogues, and other source material compared and compiled.
Data spans an interval from 1534 to 1985. Only data exceeding magnitude-completeness threshold for each region and time period
were plotted. Symbols and colours (used in plotting) reveal details of the seismotectonic fabric of North America yet preserve
a perspective of historical earthquake occurrence
